Magic is real, but Tara’s life isn’t a fairy tale.

From humble beginnings, Tara’s managed to work her way into a great job researching Dark Energy, aka “magic,” in Chicago. She has a beautiful house she renovated with her own hands, and a loving extended family, but she hasn’t found her soulmate … Not that she believes in soulmates.

Lionel is a Light Elf. Despite being of dubious heritage and being born a peasant, he’s risen in the ranks to serve the Elf Queen. Like all true elves, Lionel has a soulmark to identify his soulmate … He just hasn’t found her yet.

When Lionel’s and Tara’s lives collide and Dark Elves strike, they’re forced to work together or perish. Friendship and more grows between them, but dangers loom … Tara is more important than she knows, and Lionel is more important than he wants to admit. Both of them have choices to make.

Will Lionel choose a “perfect” love over Tara? How much is Tara willing to give up for a happily ever after?

They might find that in an uncertain world, the love you struggle for is the only certain thing.

Worlds of Wonder a Sci-fi Fantasy Collection by C. Gockel

Available at:
Amazon US, Amazon UK, Amazon CA, Amazon DE, and Amazon AU

Nook, Kobo, Google Play, iBooks

Hey Everyone,

I’ve put together a box set with selections from I Bring the Fire and Archangel Project with the express intention of making it free. 

I also included Let There Be Light because I think John must find Hana, and I will probably tie that into the Archangel Universe at a later date. 

Please don’t buy it–I mean, you can if you want, and I would gladly take it as a tip–but I will be setting it to free hopefully by August. 

More than anything though, I’d really like reviews on this one. If it goes free with some nice reviews it will get more downloads. More downloads hopefully will mean I’m reached by new readers. New readers will hopefully buy more books.

If you do want to purchase or, (please with sugar on top) leave a review, just click the button below for links to all vendors:

Amy Lewis is on her way to her grandma’s house. She’s being chased by a very bad wolf. Galaxies away Loki is waking up in a prison cell, strangely without a hangover, and with no idea what he’s done wrong — this time anyway. But he does know Thor is hiding something, Odin is up to something wicked, and there seems to be something he’s forgotten…

In this urban fantasy tale that is equal parts “Dresden Files” and “American Gods,” a very nice midwestern girl and a jaded, mischievous Loki must join forces to outwit gods, elves, magic sniffing cats, and nosy neighbors. If Loki can remember exactly what he’s forgotten and Amy can convince him not to be too distracted by Earthly gadgets, Earthly pleasures, or three day benders, they just might pull it off…

This first installment of I Bring the Fire is for anyone who suspects chaos and mischief makers might have their own redeeming qualities, and anyone who just wants a good fantasy romp through modern Earth, ancient Asgard, and beyond!

What the Critics are Saying:
“I found this story to be an amazingly accurate retelling of the Norse Myths. Excellent, highly recommended, two thumbs on fire.”
– Loki, Norse God of Mischief and Chaos (and God of Fire)

“Eight hooves up. As one of Loki’s children, I approve.”
– Sleipnir, eight-legged horse child of Loki

“This is not an accurate representation of the Norse Pantheon. Pure fantasy, a fairy tale, don’t believe a word of it.”
– Odin, All Father, leader of the Norse Gods

“I am supposed to be the hero in Norse Mythology!”
– Thor, Norse God of Thunder

After being attacked by a serial killer, saved by Loki — so-called God of Mischief, Lies and Chaos — dragged to Alfheim, losing every cent in her bank account, and caring for her grandmother, Amy Lewis has lost her scholarship to veterinary school. But she has a plan. If she manages to keep her day job as a receptionist, and her night job as a vet tech, she may be able to get her scholarship reinstated and save enough money for the dreaded ‘miscellaneous fees.’

Too bad her day boss is unbearable…

Agent Steve Rogers has political aspirations, but when a suitcase nuke turns out to be something much worse and so-called Norse gods start showing up in his life, he has a priority shift.

Meanwhile, Loki’s priorities and plans haven’t changed at all. He wants Asgard to burn. Of course, earthly pleasures can be so distracting.

These three disparate characters have little in common, but they’ll have to join forces to save earth from trolls, wyrms, frost giant invasions, and an old evil growing beneath Chicago’s streets.

In this second volume of I Bring the Fire, Chaos comes to our world and decides to stay. The nine realms will never be the same.
